Need more information?National Teacher Appreciation week may be coming a close, but the gratefulness of our community to everyone at SAU 41 is lasting. Now more than ever, we as parents have experienced and so appreciate the patience, passion and talent of our teachers and staff at HPS and HUES. Please enjoy these videos that you helped shape! They are also being shared by the principals to all staff. Special thanks to our video editors - Debbie Caron, Kate Jones and Kim Orr - and all who contributed messages!

On-line Auction May 17th-22nd: There is much uncertainty surrounding so many aspects of life right now, but we are certain about the commitment and staff and families have to HPS and HUES. As you know, HEPTA cancelled our family glow dance and online auction in April due to COVID-19 - these raised $20,000+ last year. Please support this mini online auction so that HEPTA has funds available in 2020-21 to support enrichment and teacher requests at HPS and HUES. Bidding link here!!!If you are able, please support HEPTA’s mini online auction May 17-22nd as funds raised are crucial to our ability to support enrichment activities at HPS and HUES as HEPTA has done in the past.

HEPTA is looking for two individuals to join our board of directors starting next school year. One as VP of Marketing and one as Secretary. Generally it is a 3 year term and requires ability to attend HEPTA meetings (typically 2nd Wednesday of the month at 10am at HUES). Help shape HEPTA’s work and impact in a meaningful way by volunteering!

No experience as a board member needed. Just willingness to help HEPTA enrich the student experience and support staff needs at HPS and HUES. You will have templates of all work completed in prior years to work off of and any support needed to answer questions from current and prior board members.

Secretary Role: Take and distribute monthly meeting minutes and attendance. Involved in regular emails among Board members and occasional meeting up for coffee at Buckley’s for planning/chatting - we miss being able to do that! Attend HEPTA events when possible to offer volunteer support. There is no expectation that you also be a room parent or chair HEPTA events. The time commitment for our Board secretary is about 4 hrs/month.

VP of Marketing: Send monthly e-blasts about HEPTA’s work and post that same info on Facebook. Chairpeople of fundraising/family events provide content that you share on HEPTA media channels, including setting up website to accept event registration/payments (Training provided for everything and you don’t need to have website management experience- it’s designed for organizations like us!).

Occasionally oversee print/distribution of fliers to students and post fundraising event photos and reminders to register. Involved in regular emails among Board members and occasional Buckley’s meet-ups to plan/chat. There is no expectation that you also be a room parent or chair HEPTA events. The time commitment for VP of Marketing is 6-8/hrs a month.
